It's very frustrating, mainly the lack of consistency in applying penalties.

Even worse, you get shunted off, and with the reset you lose 7/10 seconds, the offender gets (at the most) a 3 second penalty.

Saying that, I have pretty much jibbed off the daily races (besides the longer race c) and generally only do Nations Cup or Manufacturers now. It's definitely a more polite form of racing.

Agreed. I was only doing the Nations and Manufacturers recently but I had a couple of bad races and my SR dropped from 99 to 60. I stupidly gave one daily race B and one C a go to try and recover it, got T boned at Fuji and got a 4 second penalty. It was enough to take me from 32k DR all the way down to 2k DR.

Is it just me that thought the Halo Infinite gameplay trailer had crap graphics ?

For an open-world game running at 4K 60fps on a console and still 5+ months away from release, it looks fantastic.

Really don't know why people where suddenly expecting Unreal Engine 5-esque graphics from Halo Infinite..

Sorry but I can't see how the word "masterpiece" applies to it at all, and "pushing the limits of story telling" just made me laugh out loud!

It's just ridiculous!

Im not saying that. But as flawed as the story can be by video game standards it’s good quality in its cinematography, a lot of the dialogue,acting, atmosphere and world building. And again not supreme top of the range masterpiece to be talked about for a generation. But very good by video game standards.

And I didn’t go into it like Death stranding being a kojima fan that followed the game. I went in believinga a portion of the public against the critics that it would be a disaster.

I avoid Fuji whenever I can.

The first lap, turn one is always a free for all.

It was multi format I think. Will let you know when it’s getting released. Just a small independent.

sweet. Please do

I’d absolutely love to have online multiplayer Micro Machines on switch. Would be playing it constantly with my brothers back home

would break up the Super Tennis marathons we do!

I'm not expecting Unreal Engine 5 graphics, more for it to look as good as the best current gen titles really.

The 5+ months away from release is irrelevant tbh, no game ever goes from looking average to amazing by release, it's usually the other way round... looks amazing in early footage then gets downgraded by release. Id say the footage so far is an accurate representation of what it will look like.

It's just visually dated and looks poor by current gen standards let alone next gen standards. Halo games have always had shoddy graphics though and its never effected their popularity/sales.

Opinions and all mate but I'm standing by what I said. Breaking bad is universally acclaimed but personally I don't enjoy it as a show and I love my narco-series.

The game just looks poor by current gen never mind next gen standards. There’s plenty of press about it on the internet.

I tried to give Red Dead online another go the other day and lasted about an hour before giving up. It doesn’t have anywhere near the charm of the story, and it takes far too long to get anywhere, as you start off with a terrible horse that’s on the verge of dying anytime you try to gallop with it.

The graphics looked a bit off too. Then I went back to story mode and they still didn’t look right. A few sites claiming that the graphics have been continuously downloaded on both modes for some reason. It didn't look as impressive as what I remember, and I’ve not played any AAA games since I completed it.

What's Ghosts of Tsushima like?

Takes the best from action games from 2013 - 2019, and combines it in a really nice way.

Dodging, stances, parrying and ranged combat mechanics from Dark Souls, Nioh, Sekiro and Horizon Zero Dawn in a really good looking game.

It's really good.

Also does really well, with adding more and more elements all throughout the game, so it stays relevant.
